The road is vague

Chapter 252 Sweeping Through the Secret Realm (The End)

unconsciously.

The selection of true disciples has been going on for six hours.

Chen Rong and her two friends hid in the shadows, coldly watching the Ye siblings displaying their power, showing no intention of helping them.

"Rongmei, that person hasn't shown up yet. Are you sure he'll really come?"

"If he wants to compete for a place as a true disciple, he will definitely come!"

Chen Rong said firmly.

Upon hearing this, the two exchanged a glance and sighed inwardly.

Both of them were disciples of the Chen family. One was in the late stage of Foundation Establishment and was named Chen Feng, and the other was in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment and was named Chen Gou. They were not well-known in ordinary days, but they were not dispensable. They were people specially selected by the Chen family to cultivate the secret techniques passed down through generations.

"Junior sister, you should think this through. With the three of us, dealing with him is naturally no problem. Even if we tear up the refuge talisman, it won't help. But if we really kill him, we won't be able to explain ourselves."

"Yes, the higher-ups have already compromised. Our Chen family's fate is sealed. Our only hope is Chen Kaixuan. Alas."

Chen Rong clenched her teeth and did not respond.

This volcano, named Central Volcano, is the only extinct volcano in the secret realm.

The Jiang family once failed to replicate the True Yang Cauldron here. The central volcano suddenly erupted, and dozens of weapon refiners were instantly reduced to ashes, leaving behind only the last words that only weapon refiners with the Three Yang Body could refine this treasure.

Today, traces of the disaster from decades ago can still be faintly seen here.

On the central crater, the Ye siblings had only four disciples from prominent families present to support them.

They faced an attack from thirteen members of the Justice Society. After demonstrating three combined attack techniques, the two killed four Justice Society disciples in one fell swoop. The remaining nine were terrified, but the two were also gradually exhausted in the battle.

"You all joining forces like this is truly giving us siblings a lot of credit. True disciples should be chosen by the most capable. If you gang up on us like this, even if you manage to get a spot, you'll only become a laughing stock."

"Hmph, the famous Ye siblings, it's only right that we deal with you even if you gang up on us."

"What you two say is true, but that refers to normal times. Over the years, your Ye family has monopolized countless cultivation resources of our sect. The concept of fairness has long since disappeared..."

The disciples of the Justice Society are naturally not afraid of verbal battles.

Fortunately, in this reform, the independent disciples won a great victory, and they could say whatever they wanted that made sense.

"That man is Wei Cang, Lu Qi's third disciple. Don't let him stay."

"it is good."

Ye Yifang and Ye Zhimei, the brother and sister, were of one mind and simultaneously released a mid-to-high-level spell.

The two people's spells, which displayed opposing forces of water and fire, strangely merged into one before their eyes. This was not a simple fusion of attributes, but a true combined attack technique, quite similar to the fusion of spiritual forces of the two puppets earlier.

"not good!"

Wei Cang sensed danger, and even the people nearby changed their expressions drastically.

The brother and sister had previously used this combined attack technique to eliminate Wen Sheng from the secret realm, thus disqualifying him from competing for the title of true disciple.

This technique is so powerful that it almost exceeds the scope of mid-level spells, and is definitely not something a Foundation Establishment disciple can directly contend with.

Wei Cang immediately used the Hidden Thunder Step and tried his best to escape to a distant place.

Others nearby, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire, used various methods to escape.

The white orb of light flashed and disappeared in an instant, moving with incredible speed, appearing precisely where Wei Cang had been standing and stopping in mid-air.

This ball of light, only the size of an orange, looked extremely unstable.

The surrounding air was violently distorted, faintly revealing a terrifying spiritual pressure.

boom!
Blazing white light burst forth in all directions, like countless purifying swords shooting out. Fortunately, the members of the Justice Society were prepared and quickly dodged.

However, Wei Cang, who was the target of the attack, was not so lucky.

Although he had already fled, even after activating the Dark Concealment Thunder Step twice in succession, he still couldn't escape the range of this combined attack. After being engulfed by the white light, his figure suddenly disappeared, leaving behind a wisp of True Yang Fire.

This ball of true yang fire was about the size of a goose egg, and there were quite a few of them.

Those lurking in the shadows were immediately intrigued.

The two spots for true disciples this time will not be determined by martial prowess, but by who possesses more True Yang Fire after twelve hours.

However, the True Yang Fire cannot be taken out of the secret realm by ordinary means, so the True Yang Fire collected in the True Yang Furnace will also be left behind by those who leave the secret realm through the refuge talisman.

"Brother!!"

Jiang Feiyan shouted, seeing that Wei Cang had completely disappeared, and knew that he had lost the chance to compete for the position of a true disciple. This might be his last chance to step onto the path of enlightenment.

"Who would dare to cause trouble!"

Ye Yifang shouted loudly, attempting to intimidate the crowd.

Jiang Feiyan gritted her teeth and looked at the Ye siblings.

"Everyone, there's no need to worry. Those two are already at their last gasp!"

"Let's see how many more times you can unleash your combined attack technique..."

the other side.

Holding the True Yang Furnace, Li Mo had already arrived several miles away from the central volcano.

The flames in the True Yang Furnace burned fiercely, like a pomelo. He had previously opened his spiritual eye again to comprehend the True Yang Fire and successfully comprehended the Dao of Metal.

This way.

He was finally able to comprehend the great supernatural power of cultivating the Five Thunders to Transform Dust.

However, generally speaking, so-called supernatural abilities are only initially encountered and attempted by Golden Core stage cultivators, and only become widespread when they reach the Nascent Soul stage.

With his current mid-Foundation Establishment realm, although his comprehension is sufficient, he lacks the support of magical power. Even if he successfully comprehends it, he can probably only release it once or twice at most, or forcibly sustain it by consuming his essence.

Therefore, according to his idea, it would be best to wait until he advanced to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, then use the Spirit Blessing Technique to comprehend the Dao of Thunder, and only after all preparations were complete should he attempt to comprehend and cultivate.

gradually.

Li Mo snapped out of his daze and looked at the central volcano in the distance.

This place was once where the Jiang family replicated the True Yang Cauldron, making it the center of the entire secret realm. He guessed that the Ye siblings would most likely engage in a great battle here, and now, feeling the fluctuating spiritual pressure over there, it seems that his prediction was correct.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

"Let's try to capture everyone here in one fell swoop."

Think of this.

Li Mo's speed actually slowed down by half a point. After adjusting his breathing, he activated the Formless Robe and gradually approached in a concealed and transparent form.

About a quarter of an hour later.

Li Mo finally arrived above the central volcano and witnessed the fierce battle centered on the Ye siblings. Even he couldn't help but show his shock. If his True Demon Avatar hadn't advanced, he would have had only a 30% chance of winning against the Ye siblings alone, and it would have been a Pyrrhic victory. The more likely outcome would have been defeat.

"If we can successfully combine the Six Calamities and Six Disasters Matrix Puppet with that mechanical bird, it will probably be around this level."

After muttering to himself, he looked around and could vaguely see that there were quite a few people lurking there.

at this time!

The Ye siblings spared no expense and unleashed their combined attack technique once again.

Ye Yifang shouted, and the simple and unadorned flying sword, which was of the same lineage as Ye Shoutian, landed in Ye Zhimei's hands.

Ye Zhimei drew her bow and nocked an arrow, completing the maneuver in one swift motion.

She actually used her brother's flying sword as an arrow, aiming it directly at Qi Xuan, the leader of the Sanye Hall.

"So fast!"

Li Mo was shocked.

Qi Xuan was clearly in poor condition, seemingly injured in the previous battle.

The flying sword vanished in a flash, and Qi Xuan disappeared without uttering a sound.

A ball of True Yang Fire, only slightly smaller than the one in Li Mo's hand, descended from the sky, immediately drawing gasps from the onlookers. They couldn't help but rush forward and vie for it, with disciples from aristocratic families making up the majority of them.

Li Mo watched this scene with a cold smile on his lips. He quietly released the Six Calamities and Six Disasters Matrix Puppet, whose massive form quickly disappeared.

Once everything is ready.

Li Mo took a deep breath, quickly formed hand seals, and his figure suddenly appeared in the air as a result.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom…

Thirty-six beams of spiritual light shot into the sky in quick succession, instantly enveloping the entire central crater and forming the Six Ding Six Jia Void Array. However, with the strength of this array, it was unlikely to be able to trap so many Foundation Establishment cultivators.

But for Li Mo, a moment would suffice.

"who is it!"

"Someone set up a trap here beforehand, and I didn't even sense it..."

After a brief moment of panic, the people trapped by the formation quickly regained their senses and looked at the figure that had suddenly appeared in the air.

"Junior brother?"

"Instructor Li?"

"It turned out to be him!"

"Instructor Li, what are you doing...?"

Everyone looked up and exclaimed in surprise.

Li Mo summoned his true demon clone, his face showing a resolute and domineering expression. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly felt a dangerous spiritual pressure rising up and heading straight for him.

"It's now!"

Chen Rong let out a loud shout and appeared simultaneously with Chen Feng and Chen Gou.

The three people were sitting cross-legged on the ground, with an amber jade bottle in the middle. The bottle was flawless, and a red embroidered shoe was placed underneath it, which seemed to be some kind of ritual.

As the three exerted their strength simultaneously, the amber jade bottle suddenly emitted a dark red stream of light filled with suppressed and twisted energy, which struck Li Mo directly in mid-air.

All of a sudden.

An amazing attraction was emanating from that unassuming amber bottle.

Li Mo's expression changed drastically, and he instinctively exclaimed in surprise.

"Sealing technique!?"

A terrifying pull came from the bottle's mouth, and Li Mo's figure, which was standing in the air, began to sink rapidly, as if he would be sucked into the bottle at any moment.

He immediately let out a loud shout.

A violent burst of lightning erupted from his body, forcibly propelling him into the sky, attempting to break free of the sealing technique using the Thunder God Transformation Secret Technique.

However, after flying only ten or so feet, he felt the suction force below suddenly increase, as if it were a bottomless vortex, creating a stalemate between him and the force below.

Immediately, a strange and chaotic spacetime appeared around Li Mo.

An aura he had never felt before gradually spread out, and he felt as if he were in a crevice.

These are countless tiny cracks, like pinholes, formed by the convergence and pulling of two different time and space.

These cracks seem to be alive, constantly expanding and contracting, as if they are breathing.

Countless bizarre laughs, sometimes near, sometimes far, ethereal and uncertain, seemed to be rejoicing over the prey before them.

Countless dark red threads slowly emerged from these gaps, rushing wildly towards Li Mo and entangling him completely. Li Mo couldn't even tell whether these were illusions, some kind of order or something real.

As more and more fine threads became attached to Li Mo's body.

Faintly.

He actually saw a ghost bride covered with a red veil, exuding an evil aura. Her bizarre laughter became increasingly eerie, and she stretched out her pale right hand to grab Li Mo from afar.

Li Mo felt a chill on his chest as the talisman on his body spontaneously combusted.

This made Li Mo look incredulous.

Although the power of thunder within him was still surging and turbulent, he felt an unprecedented desolation in his heart. He slowly turned his head and looked at the figure that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

"Senior Sister Chen Rong, are you going to kill me?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Rong's previously calm expression instantly turned into an extremely ferocious one.

She looked up and let out a hysterical scream.

"Since you are the beast I raised, I have an obligation to kill you! Although you deserve to die, I won't kill you; that would be too easy on you. I will only cripple your cultivation, so that every day of your remaining life will be spent reflecting on what you have done in a filthy and disgusting environment! All of this is because of my ignorance. I actually treated you, this beast, as family, and carefully taught you skills. I was blind! I have let down my relatives and friends! I am unworthy of being a member of the Chen family! I have broken everyone's hearts! You joined the Justice Society for more cultivation resources and to gain greater power, right? Today, I will show you, you heartless wretch, what true power is!!!"

Chen Rong's hysterical voice.

She was filled with pain, self-blame, and hatred.

A stronger, eerie power suddenly erupted from the amber jade bottle, attempting to drag Li Mo into it.

All these changes happened in an instant.

Whether it was the battle in the air surrounding the Ye siblings or the battle on the ground surrounding the True Yang Fire, both paled in comparison at this moment.

Everyone stared in astonishment.

Everyone felt the ominous aura emanating from the strange creature, and coupled with Chen Rong's hysterical screams, they felt a chill run down their spines. Only a very few people knew about the Chen family's sealing techniques.

Li Mo's eyes were filled with immense grief, and his heart sank to the bottom.

He did this for his master and for the sake of his sect; he firmly believed that his master was right.

Everything he did was for the sake of his sect.

But things have turned out this way.

First it was Lü Cuicui, then Chen Rong. His former closest relatives now hated him to the core. No one understood him, and perhaps even he himself didn't understand why he had become like this.

Deep down, he couldn't help but yearn for the peaceful life in Bai'an City once again.

gradually.

Li Mo's initial grief was quickly replaced by icy anger, and his eyes turned completely ruthless.

He no longer expects to be understood, nor does he bother to explain anymore.

He was no longer the timid little Taoist boy on Qingming Mountain; he only needed to persist in doing what he believed was right, even if he was condemned by everyone.

boom!
A terrifying burst of demonic energy erupted, and a massive vertebra descended from the sky, resembling a grotesque bone tower of a hellish inferno. A blood-soaked giant sword swept across the ground, and Chen Feng and Chen Gou, who were casting a sealing spell, let out terrified and desperate screams before vanishing without a trace.

The sealing technique was interrupted instantly.

Chen Rong suffered a backlash, collapsing to the ground bleeding from her mouth and nose, and convulsing in pain.

Li Mo, in his Thunderous Transformation form, lightly landed beside Chen Rong, meeting her terrified, resentful, and hostile gaze, without a trace of remorse.

"Senior Sister Chen Rong, why bother showing off here? True strength isn't something you can just talk about. You know nothing about my power."

Say it.

He casually swung his sword, and Chen Rong's figure vanished before his eyes.

Overwhelmed by the spiritual pressure of the demon-suppressing clone, the surroundings became incredibly quiet.

After briefly closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, Li Mo suddenly turned his head and looked at everyone present.

"My senior sister and I will take the two spots for the true disciples in this competition!"

As Li Mo spoke, the True Demon Avatar fully revealed its Golden Core stage demon form. Its height had reached over two zhang, and its gray-white eyes revealed endless filth, depravity, brutality, and bloodlust. Holding a retractable spinal greatsword, it charged straight towards the Ye siblings, unleashing an unstoppable pressure.

"Golden Core stage demon, run!"

"Quickly break through this great formation!"

"This matter must be reported to the acting sect leader..."

A quarter of an hour later.

After unleashing the ultimate power of Lei Wu, Li Mo, weakened, knelt on the ground, panting heavily.

The true demon clone stood quietly beside him, its wounds healing rapidly.

Within the entire Six Ding Six Jia Formation, there was no one else besides Jiang Feiyan.

Jiang Feiyan squatted down beside Li Mo, hugging him as tightly as possible, cherishing her junior brother with all her heart, and couldn't help but shed tears.

She was able to keenly perceive the changes in Li Mo.

"Waaaaah... Junior brother, what happened to you? Why did you become like this? I don't like you like this. I'm so scared, waaaaah. If you have any problems, just tell your senior sister. I will help you. I still prefer you as you were before, when we worked together in Bai'an County to rid the people of evil."

Li Mo's body trembled slightly as Jiang Feiyan embraced him.

"Senior sister, I'm sorry, I may never be able to go back to that state."

He closed his eyes in pain and lay quietly in Jiang Feiyan's arms.
